Dear All,


I have question about this module which I uploaded.

Medium is air, substrate is glass, and I want to put some dipole on that glass. My question is about PML.

As I know, I should put always same material PML and adjoining medium becuase of the discontinuity in refractive indices.

But what to do with this configuration which I uploaded?

It is easy to set up one half of PML is medium, one half is substrate, but what will happened between two halves of the PML ? Does any of you done these simulations? Is there some strong influence of that on results??


Thank you for any answer.

Hi,

I would suggest to completely surround the substrate with the medium and keep a distance of at least a wavelength to the PML. And you can always try different setups and compare the results. That's the beauty of computer models, right?

Cheers

HEllo Edgar,

Thank you very much on answer.
I am new so I don't know yet for these tricks.

That's the right way to do it. It's not a problem to contact two PMLs with different materials.
